About Joanne

Joanne Rayner is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and confidence, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, body image concerns, and the impacts of divorce and domestic violence.

Joanne believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that identifying existing strengths is a powerful step toward change. She combines warmth and practical guidance to help clients explore what matters to them, build motivation, and develop skills for coping with life changes. Joanne draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor support to individual needs. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can require courage, and she offers steady, nonjudgmental support for that process.

Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, which reflects her commitment to recognised practice standards.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and emotional responses. It helps clients explore attachment styles and build more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and issues stemming from abandonment or loss.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and support to help people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, increasing confidence, and navigating life changes where personal insight and acceptance are important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, unhelpful anger, and sleep problems. It offers structured tools for coping and for changing patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joanne works collaboratively with clients to choose or blend methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to suit each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options allow ongoing support from a distance and make it possible to continue therapeutic work when in-person meetings are not convenient.
